X62 October Changes

Following the July changes to Stagecoach service X62 between Hull, Brough, Goole and Leeds, that aimed to provide a better spread of journeys, further changes will occur from Monday 19th October. The Traveline East Midlands website has a new timetable that shows an extra weekday journey, 2 extra Saturday journeys, and timetable changes every day of the week.Current weekday timetableHull D. 0640 0940 1140 1340 1640Leeds D. 0830 1130 1330 1530 1830New weekday timetableHull D. 0630 0830 1030 1230 1430 1630Leeds D. 0830 1030 1230 1430 1630 1830Current Saturday timetableHull D. 0640 0940 1140 1340 1540 1740Leeds D. 0830 1130 1330 1530 1730 1930 New Saturday timetableHull D. 0630 0830 0930 1030 1230 1330 1430 1630Leeds D. 0830 1030 1130 1230 1430 1530 1630 1830Current Sunday timetableHull D. 1020 1445Leeds D. 1205 1630New Sunday timetableHull D. 1020 1520Leeds D. 1210 1710As can be seen the weekday service is now two hourly throughout the day. The Saturday service is the same, but with the addition of two extra round trips for Saturday shoppers. The late Saturday departure from Leeds at 1930 is brought forward an hour, but the early Hull commuter departure in the morning remains, despite the lack of an afternoon peak return service (1630 is early, 1830 is late).Finally, maybe this timetable change will see the introduction of the coaches announced with the July change?See also this post on the history off the X62.

The trouble is they're all full of free loading OAP's. I bet when the tories get in to power and change the free pass system(they've already said it doesn't work)we will see an end to all these full buses on out of town journeys and one stop wonders!
